⚠️ If you would like the Student Immigration Team (Advice) to help you submit your application online, please make an appointment to see an Adviser at least one week before your visa expires.
If you want to submit the application yourself, here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Create an account on the Home Office website to complete and submit your online application
- You will need your passport, new CAS, financial documents (if you have not been resident in the UK for the last 12 months), academic qualifications and transcripts as listed on your CAS and, if applicable: BRP card, national ID card, UK National Insurance Number and UK Driving License
- You can pay for the Immigration Health Surcharge and Visa Application Fee with a debit or credit card
If you are called to attend an appointment to re-enrol your biometrics:
- It is important to scan and upload your documents during the online application process. If you are required to attend an appointment to re-enrol your biometrics, you will have to take them with you, and you will then have to pay for your documents to be scanned.
- Print the Document Check List to ensure you bring the correct documents along to your appointment
- Print the appointment confirmation letter with the QR code for the UKVCAS Service Point. Bring this letter and your passport with you to your appointment
- You must wait until you receive your visa decision from the Home Office before you book any travel abroad
- Never travel abroad without first accessing and checking your eVisa.*
⚠️ From 1st November 2024, any visa decision made will not have a BRP card issued. Instead you will be instructed to create a UKVI account, if you have not already done so, to access your eVisa
